I'd have been one of them

I do like the Beast from the East though, and am looking forward to the Pest from the West

Who is the mouth from the south?

Is your journey really necessary? Take a shovel, some emergency flares and a space blanket with you. May God be with you...

Thank you for you blessings. Do you know where I put the snow brush in 2015?

I am loving the reporting of this, and it makes me realize how very much I miss the Red Top headlines...it's being called "Snowmaggedon"...great stuff!

I do wish the Fredericton Gleaner or the Saint John Telegraph Journal could come up with some more imaginative headlines.
Even worse in Ireland now. We have some parts with Status Orange, panic buying going on and they reported treacherous conditions. Although I'm in the West, it's currently -2c. We also have other problems and yesterday in the headlines https://galwaybayfm.ie/no-water-will...ervoir-levels/

Not looking good tomorrow either. Regional weather forecast:
Extremely cold, with some further scattered falls of snow tomorrow. All areas however will be at risk, with the threat of thunder too. Top temperatures of only 0 to +2 degrees Celsius. Fresh to strong and gusty easterly winds will make it feel even colder, owing to a significant wind chill factor. Frost, ice and lying snow persisting through the day.

Joking aside that must be a bit of a shock!
At least we are used to it in fact this winter has (is) mild compared to last year. And of course when it hits 40c in summer we'll be moaning!

No idea, but give us three rings when you get there.

Well that conversation didn't go as I'd thought.

The Australian - the Canada mob on BE are taking the piss about the UK's reaction to the weather

The Brit - quite right too, good on them
